Crescenzo di Fratta, TÜV AUSTRIA Country Manager Italy, welcomes a new member in the group of companies: “TÜV AUSTRIA appreciates and acknowledges the quality of CFF’s specialized training services. CFF and TÜV AUSTRIA share the same vision regarding the strategic importance of increasing training because it is so much more, it is culture and knowledge – two fundamental elements for the growth of our country. This is why we have decided to invest in this new sector for our training business.”

In general, speaking of ‚quality‘, various levels can be identified, which define various aspects attributable to it. But there is a level f quality, called ‘recognized quality’ and CFF is particularly proud of this level”, says Antonio Musella.
